In the 1840‘s his father, Thomas Moran Sr, having heard a lecture by American painter George Catlin, decided to emigrate to the United States, hoping for better fortunes for the family. In 1842 he sailed for America, and two years later his wife and seven children joined him. Descended from a long line of hand-loom weavers, it was natural for him to settle his family in the working district of Kensington, in Philadelphia. This area was known to locals as “Little England” because so many immigrants gathered there for the textile trade. There they were able to continue with their craft, while taking advantage of the public school system to provide their children an education which might liberate them from the difficult work of the textile world. The oldest son of the family, Edward, was the first in the family to show artistic talent, and in the early 1850’s left his father’s side in the weaving trade to strike out as an artist. His younger brother Thomas would later say of him, “He taught the rest of us Morans all we know about art and grounded us in the principles we have worked on all our lives... It is scarcely probable that any of us would have been painters had it not been for Edward’s encouragement and assistance.” (cont)
